After staring at the car for a while I thought something was a miss...

Sponsor decals!!!! So I started fiddling around my decals sheets pile and kit decals, but I realized I have to ruin 6 decal sheets from various kits to get decals and most were not what I wanted. I wanted all black decals... maybe shades..

So I said why not, and custom built my decals... luckily I had a sheet of inkjet decal paper I bought a year ago from germany. so I printed the logos on the paper... Here are 2 photos..



this one is a little off color but it shows you whay I printed and the name of the decal on top.



Here is a detail shot of a portion of the decal.

once dry (atleast I thought it was) I applied a coat of microsol decal liquid over it. let it to dry again. since it was not all dry some of the decals were ruined but I still have 95% of the sheet so it is acceptable

then I tested with one of the ruined decals and it worked great.

Here is what the GT3 looks like at the moment.




enjoy
